What's a good (quality) gene testing source? I want to get genetic testing (or have my genes sequenced-- whatever the correct term is), such that I can see if I have predispositions to anything, and to have my genetic structure be known to me, such that I can assess research and better apply it to myself (recognizing an MTHFR issue, or the MET/MET genotype, etc). It would also be cool to have to then be able to see my ancestry (ethnicities present), etc.

I think most people start with www.23andme.com.  However, it is not a straight genome sequence.  It's the SNPs.  But will probably give you 80-90% of what you are looking for.

I second 23andme. If you want your full genome sequenced however, it is roughly x10 the price of 23andme, so it depends on your wallet and how much detail you want.

23andme is useless for any serious testing, I think. snps are so tiny a part of your genome that it's not worth much and they don't even test all snps

https://www.fullgenomes.com/ provides full genomes with software and a harddisk shipped to you, but I've never used their service so can't speak..

Is that for men only?
